Could we see Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones getting the Led out in 2014?

In an interview with Australia’s version of “60 Minutes,” Plant hinted as much, saying he has no plans in 2014, and at the same time, shot down the popular notion that he is the one that’s holding up a possible Led Zeppelin reunion.

“[Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones] are Capricorns. They don’t say a word. They’re quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me,” said Plant. “I’m not the bad guy . . . You need to see the Capricorns – I’ve got nothing to do in 2014.”

The band originally split in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham, but last played together at a one-off tribute show for the founder of their record label at London’s O2 Arena on December 10, 2007. Bonham’s son Jason took the place of his late father behind the kit.

National music writer Darryl Sterdan is old enough to know better. He lives mostly in his head but also on his couch in Winnipeg, where he listens to music, thinks about music, writes about music and obsesses over music 24/7/365. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But he really will have to get that couch cleaned one of these days.
